8 Fascinating Facts About ‘Koru,’ Jeff Bezos’s Bonkers 410-Foot Sailing Superyacht

From its 250-foot support tender to its voluptuous wooden figurehead, the amazon founder's $500 million superyacht is full of surprises., howard walker, howard walker's most recent stories.

According to the latest Forbes ‘s Real-Time Billionaires List, Amazon founder Jeff Bezos is currently worth around $204 billion, making him the second-wealthiest person on the planet, just behind Tesla CEO Elon Musk .

So handing over an estimated $500 million for his 410-foot Koru , the world’s largest sailing yacht , another $75 million for Abeona , its 250-foot support vessel, and then paying the $30 million or so a year to cover running costs for both, should be well within his budget.

Bezos surprised the boating world when he opted for a classically styled, three-masted sailing yacht instead of some flashy mega motoryacht. What’s more it has a buxom wooden sculpture on the forepeak, typical of 19th-century sailing vessels. And since taking delivery last year, he and his fiancé, Lauren Sánchez, have been using the yacht to cruise the world in style.

While secrecy still shrouds Koru , especially its interior and many of its technical features, we take a closer look at what makes it, arguably, the most interesting sailing superyacht in years.

Designed as a Modern Classic

Koru would never be described as sleek, or elegant even. But she does have a classical style. Designed by the Dutch masters at Dykstra Naval Architecture, the boat is distinguished by its towering navy-blue steel hull, snowy-white, two-level aluminum superstructure, sweeping canoe stern, and a trio of soaring masts. Her design inspiration is said to be the triple-masted schooner Eos , built by Germany’s Lürssen Yachts in 2006 for American media mogul Barry Diller. And, ignoring the current trend of oversized windows, Koru ‘s hull sides are dotted with traditional portholes with smaller-than typical windows for the upper decks (no doubt helping to protect guests from paparazzi lenses). Little is known about the yacht’s interior design, other than it’s the work of London-based Mlinaric, Henry and Zervudachi studio. Oceanco’s website describes the interior as a “timeless, contemporary style, with natural wood tones complemented by a palette of warm neutrals and beautifully patterned textiles.”

Claiming the Prize for Size

At 410 feet bow to stern and with a beam of 56 feet, Koru is the largest sailing yacht in the world. Some might argue the title should go to the 468-foot Sailing Yacht A . But that quirky, Philippe Stark–designed triple-master is considered a “sail-assisted motoryacht” rather than a true sailing yacht. Koru is also big inside, with a reported internal volume of 3,300 gross T=tons, that offers room for up to 18 guests in nine cabins and accommodations for a crew of 36.

A True Sailor

Full credit to Jeff Bezos for ignoring his fellow billionaires’ penchant for giant, diesel-guzzling superyachts. (Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg recently took delivery of his 387-foot Launchpad , powered by quadruple MTU engines packing a combined 23,400 hp.) With its giant, more-than-20,000-square-foot sail plan (including three mainsails and three, cutter-style headsails), Koru has been regularly photographed cruising under sail. It’s also believed the yacht is making an effort to focus on sustainability, from reports of it testing out a prototype kinetic energy recovery system that converts wave-induced motion into electrical energy. The vessel is also believed to feature a hybrid power system with large battery banks that run its systems at night while at anchor.

Its 250-Foot, $75 Million “Tender”

The challenge with sailing yachts, even one that’s 410 feet long, is that it’s nearly impossible to land a helicopter on the deck. So Bezos commissioned a 250-foot support vessel, named Abeona after the Roman goddess of travelers. The largest shadow vessel ever built by Holland’s Damen Yachting, this explorer comes with a rear-deck helipad and hangar big enough to accommodate an Airbus ACH-135 helicopter. There’s also space aboard for a small armada of water toys and tenders, plus accommodations below decks for up to 45 crew and support staff.

Built Under Total Secrecy

Tasked with taking Koru from concept to reality was the superyacht builder Oceanco, based south of Rotterdam in Alblasserdam, Holland. The famed yard, owned by billionaire Mohammed Al Barwani, who also owns Turquoise Yachts in Turkey, recently completed Steven Spielberg’s new 357-foot superyacht Seven Sea s, and the similar-sized Bravo Eugenia , launched in 2018 for Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones. Koru was reportedly first commissioned in 2018 as Project Y721 and delivered to the Amazon founder in Gibraltar in April 2023.

What’s in a Name?

While a betting person might have predicted that Bezos would have given his sailing yacht a more Amazon-connected name, like Prime, Deliverance, or even Blue Origin after his space company, he picked Koru . The name is said to be Maori for “loop” or “coil” and resembles the spiral shape of an unfurling silver fern frond. It’s said to be an integral symbol of New Zealand Maori art that symbolizes new life and new beginnings. Look closely at the wooden figurehead on Koru ‘s bow and the necklace around the woman’s neck features a pendant shaped like the koru symbol.

A Bridge Too Far

As Koru was nearing completion in 2021, word got out that builder Oceanco had approached the city of Rotterdam in Holland, offering to pay for the partial disassembly of the historic 97-year-old Koningshaven lift-bridge, which was too low for the yacht with its triple 230-foot masts in place, to pass under on its way to the North Sea. The city reportedly consented, but the move resulted in a huge public outcry with threats to plaster Koru with eggs as it passed through the bridge. Oceanco withdrew its application and instead towed the yacht to Rotterdam’s Greenport shipyard west of the city, transported the masts by barge, and installed them there.

The Places You’ll Go

Hot on the heels of Koru ‘s handover in Gibraltar in April last year, the superyacht has seemingly been cruising non-stop. It was spotted exploring Spain’s Balearic Islands, anchored off Cannes during the film festival, and moored at celebrity hot spots like Saint-Tropez, Capri, Portofino, and Porto Cervo, Sardinia. Bezos reportedly proposed to Sánchez on the bow of Koru off Cannes in May last year, followed by an engagement party aboard in Positano, Italy with a guest list that included Bill Gates, Leonardo DiCaprio, Kris Jenner, Toby Maguire, and Queen Rania of Jordan. Then Koru cruised the 4,000-plus miles across the Atlantic to Fort Lauderdale for a re-fuel and re-supply before heading to the Caribbean for winter cruising. This summer it was back to the Mediterranean for more island-hopping.

20 Best Reality TV Shows Right Now

Daisy kelliher finally reveals if below deck manipulates storylines amid producer plant accusations, sister wives villain kody brown shockingly reveals if robyn brown marriage is in deep trouble amid major red flags.

While there is still no definite news about the next season of Below Deck Sailing Yacht , Gary King made headlines by dropping a bombshell allegation about his accuser. Gary has had a history of questionable conduct and behavior during his time as Bosun of various yachts on the popular Below Deck spin-off. After Gary was accused of sexual misconduct , Bravo removed the cast of Below Deck Sailing Yacht from the lineup at BravoCon and has yet to reveal the future of the television show. These allegations against Gary and his previous inappropriate behavior seem to have tarnished Sailing Yacht 's reputation.

"I know it’s super sad, and it honestly hurt so much and affected my whole family, I’m just glad it’s in the past."

Gary has continued acting as if these troubling allegations are false and that he will be in Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5. In the comments section of a recent post on Gary 's Instagram, Instagram user @unicornmagic78 asked, " Just out of curiosity, was there an investigation into the allegations? "

Gary responded to the question by saying, " Her and her boyfriend (now ex I hear) weren’t invited back to any BD due to the problems they caused, so she wanted revenge and to try [to] make some money out of it. " Gary continues to claim these allegations against him are false.

Gary King Claims His Life Has Been “Ruined” Amid Misconduct Allegations

Gary might not return to below deck sailing yacht after alleged behavior.

Things are not looking good for Gary's future on television now that he is facing serious accusations of sexual misconduct, which caused Bravo to take a step back not only from Below Deck Sailing Yacht but from Gary as well. Gary continued his response to the original poster, saying, " To me, I knew it never happened, but it affected my family and potentially ruined my career because of her lies :( was honestly the hardest thing I’ve ever gone through. " Gary went on to say that he is now in a much better place but that this experience has been scary.

Reality TV is more popular than ever. With so many to choose from, here are some of the best reality TV shows to stream or watch right now.

Another commenter, @michae1ajane , replied to Gary's response, saying, " I never believed that horrible story, and it made me sick how quickly people jumped on it and were so unbelievably mean to/about you. Does this mean you’ll be back? " Many have also wondered if Gary will return for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5, while Bravo remains silent on the issue . Gary sidestepped the question by answering, " I know it’s super sad, and it honestly hurt so much and affected my whole family, I’m just glad it’s in the past, but haters will hate, and there will always be trolls. "

Gary believes his time on Below Deck Sailing Yacht was memorable, fun, and exciting for everyone involved. However, his personality clashed with many of his crewmates during filming. Gary has a rough demeanor that can rub people the wrong way, which has led to many issues with those who were assigned to work under him. Aside from work-related problems, Gary was also involved in many toxic " boatmances " during filming for the seasons he was on, including one love triangle. Gary’s inability to control his behavior may have cost him any future he could have had in the Below Deck franchise.

This is not the first time a show in the Below Deck franchise has faced allegations of sexual misconduct and impropriety. As these accusations begin to build up, Bravo faces more and more pressure to get its stars under control and head away from serious legal problems. Although Gary is adamant that he will be back for Below Deck Sailing Yacht season 5 , it may be in the best interest of Bravo and its shows to cut ties with Gary. Below Deck Sailing Yacht has already missed the period when it would have aired this year, leaving its future unknown.

See inside the Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's second vessel, Ilma

• The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection's second ship, Ilma, departed on its maiden voyage Monday.
• The 790-foot-long Ilma is larger than its predecessor Evrima, which launched in 2022.
• The ship will operate cruises in the Mediterranean, Caribbean and Northern Europe ranging from three to 13 nights.

The Ritz-Carlton Yacht Collection is growing.

The luxury brand’s second ship, Ilma, departed on its maiden voyage Monday. The vessel, which will spend its inaugural season sailing the Mediterranean, was fittingly named for the Maltese word for water.

The 790-foot-long Ilma is larger than 624-foot predecessor Evrima, which launched in 2022 .

“It is with immense pride and excitement that we welcome Ilma to our growing fleet,” executive chairman and CEO Jim Murren said in a news release. “Since Evrima’s debut, we have been steadfast in our pursuit of excellence at sea. The addition of Ilma signifies a continuation of our mission to deliver legendary service and unparalleled enjoyment to our guests.”

Here’s what to expect.

Where does Ilma sail?

Along with the Mediterranean, the 448-guest ship will operate cruises in the Caribbean and Northern Europe ranging from three to 13 nights. The ship’s week-long maiden voyage from Monte Carlo, Monaco, to Rome, Italy, includes stops in Saint-Tropez, France; Bastia on the island of Corsica; and Livorno in Tuscany.

What can passengers expect on board?

For a relatively small vessel, Ilma has a robust culinary program. There are five dining venues, seven bars and a wine vault.

Two of the eateries were crafted by chefs from Michelin-starred restaurants. Modern Italian fine dining concept Seta su Ilma by Chef Fabio Trabocchi serves seasonal tasting menus paired with wines – largely Italian reds and whites. The beach club-inspired Beach House offers Pan-Latin dishes, craft beer, an “elevated tequila selection” and more, according to a separate news release , with a menu developed with Chef Michael Mina.

Another space, The Living Room, serves coffee and pastries in the morning, and cocktails, Champagne and wines later in the day, which guests can enjoy while listening to live music.

There are also two pools, including an infinity pool at the vessel’s aft, a spa and fitness studio. Passengers can find direct access to the water for activities like snorkeling and kayaking at the ship’s Marina, or grab a drink at the nearby Marina Terrace.

Each of Ilma’s 224 suites have private terraces, as well.

Floating resorts vs yacht-like vessels: How to pick between big and small cruise ships

How much do cruises on Ilma cost?

Prices vary depending on the sailing date, suite category and other factors, but starting prices for 2024 sailings currently range from $5,200 to $14,900 per person based on double occupancy.

The fare includes multiple dining venues, Wi-Fi, gratuities and more.
